According to court records, Joehlin had begun working at a local pawn shop in early January. Two weeks after he started his job, on Jan. 17, a man attempted to rob Joehlin after coming to the apartment to purchase or trade cocaine for Xanax, court records said.

As Newark Police investigated the shooting, they confiscated multiple firearms from Joehlin's residence.

The pawn shop reported multiple firearms had come up missing from their inventory in January.

In late March, the pawn shop provided Newark Police with a full inventory of the missing firearms, according to court records.

Police matched three of the missing firearms to weapons confiscated from Joehlin's apartment. Those weapons included a Glock .380 handgun, a .25 caliber semi-automatic firearm and a .380 caliber handgun.

It is not known if any of those firearms was the one used in the shooting.

Detectives interviewed Joehlin about the firearms and he reportedly said he had purchased the firearms at a trading event in September, among other stories he had provided.

In their investigation, detectives were able to determine the weapons were still at the pawn shop in November, when the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms did an audit of the business.

Joehlin appeared Wednesday for a bond hearing and had his bond set at $10,000. The case will be reviewed by a grand jury in the coming weeks for potential indictment and consideration of additional charges.

The charges originally filed against the would-be robber have been dismissed.
